6.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Zhihao Cheng <chengzhihao1@huawei.com>

[ Upstream commit 08a4267874164b2e9c8c50831acd466f47208acc ]

Just like sync_erase() does, getting erase counter from wl_entry is
faster than reading from flash.
